"Hello, Advertising for a professional writer is the easiest request to put out there, because you will receive a milieu of takers for this field. Writers think they can write on anything, but this is false. Writing for different genres is one thing, but it’s the quality and the uniqueness of the writer that sets me aside. Being immaculate with the word and the word being structured and grammatically correct is what make a good writer. I am an articulate and experienced writer who understands briefs without too much input from clients and who can turn out the work, effectively and quickly with the utmost care to detail. Regards"

Hi. I´m interested in doing a beta read and critique of your first 5 chapters. I´ve done similar work recently for 2 supernatural thrillers and a collection of romantic stories, and those clients benefited from my observations and asked for more. Although I live in Brazil now, I´m an American editor and proofreader, a native English speaker with excellent language skills and years of experience at correcting and improving books and other texts. I use Track Changes to show you my comments in the appropriate places. Please contact me for further discussion - I´m a big fan of sci-fi and like your idea of mixing mythological factors. Thanks, David

Hello, I feel that I would be good for your project as I have had lots of experience writing and proofreading. I have 2 degrees, one in English and History and one in Nursing. I have written lots of academic papers, essays and research projects as well as articles and blogs both for myself, friends and other students. I also offer an editing and proofreading service for them too. I have always loved writing and as well as the above-mentioned writing I also write articles, blogs, essays, guides, reviews, research and reports on travel, books, fashion, food, education, health and social care, law, psychology, sociology and other niches. I also write flash fiction, some of which has been used by published authors. I have a number of authors that I provide typing editing and proofreading for before their work goes to publication. I am a fast typer and I am confident in MS Office and PDF. If you pick me for your project I will ensure a fast, efficient and professional service that will provide you with a well written, researched, edited or proofread document in the specified timeframe following any guidelines or requirements you have. The timeframe and price can always be negotiated. Samples available in my portfolio and on request.

I'd really love to critique your novel for you, especially since it is at least partly about mythology. I am a fan of all things mythical, having read over 6-7 series on the genre, from Cassandra's Mortal instrument, to all Rick Riordan's series (I'm currently reading book 3 in the trials of Apollo series). As you probably have guessed, the charge is only this low because, I would simply be doing what I usually do for fun. I wish you the best with the novel, regardless who you choose to work with. I also hope I'd get to read it someday too. Peace!

Fantastic! that's what I thought as I found your project, I've recently completed a beta read and I just loved it! Could this be my next opportunity? I hope so! I guess I'm a frustrated writer...in that I write really well but the ideas aren't there, but this makes me perfect for projects like yours. I will make sure the flow is right, edit if needed and give you honest feedback plus ideas for improvement. Please take the time to check out my beta read feedback as well as my ghostwriting feedback, then I hope you'll message me to discuss further. Fingers crossed!

I'd love to take a look at what you've written and give you some feedback. I am also a novel writer and could provide you with some useful insights. Getting an outside opinion on your work can be pretty helpful in the rough draft stages. If you're passionate about the project, its characters and meanings, then we definitely have enough in common to work together productively.

Hello! I see you need a bit of help with your novel. The beginning of a book is the most important part of the process, it’s the opening chapters where a reader will decide if they keep on reading, and where an agent/publisher will decide if their company should take on the risk. So it’s wise to get as much work done on the start of your book. I am a published author and editor of a literary magazine; I am in charge of reviews so I read a lot of books and decide which ones are fitting for review, so I have experience on a variety of genres. Plus personally I have an interest in reading and I’m up to date with the markets; I advise you about what readers/critics are interested in. My work at Minor Literatures also involves beta reading and proofreading the reviews our contributors send us. Critiquing other people's writing is my day job! Before I started getting published in magazines and anthologies I completed multiple creative writing courses (at the City London University) and workshops among fellow writers, and I’m in the process of setting my own creative writing course, so I’m very familiar with all the elements of the craft (beat sheets, dead words, showing versus telling), familiar with the tropes of the genre and the mistakes amateur writers often make (like head-hopping, weak structure). In my profile you'll find my creative writing portfolio of short stories (all of them already published, in multiple genres like scifi, crime or fantasy).
